<TITLE>13. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 But, oh, we think then that while Peter yet spake these words, before they come out of his mouth, there was a Voice come from heaven said, "This is My beloved Son: [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Hear ye Him." There was Moses, don't hear Him; the justice, don't hear Him. It's all been met in Him. "Hear ye Him." No more laws. No more judgments, because He bears our judgment. I'm so glad. The law could do nothing for me.
But what can Christ do for me? Christ represents, not His law, not His justice; but He represents his mercy, His love. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but has Eternal Life. Christ can give me love. Christ can give me Eternal Life. Christ can give me healing for my body. Christ can give me satisfaction. Christ can take away my gloom and give me happiness.
The law couldn't do that. The prophets couldn't do that. But, "Hear ye Him." The church can't do it today. The world can't do it today. Your money can't do it today. Your friends can't do it today. So, "Hear ye Him." He's the only one can do it.

L-48 There's many of you here now that's dying, got cancer, heart trouble--be dead in a few days if something doesn't take place. Your doctors turned you down. The clinic's turned you down. The hospital's turned you down. And if they can't do nothing for you, "Hear ye Him. I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases. Hear ye Him."
Come with it with love. The world is dying today for love. Christians today; we've got fine scholarly churches, wonderful buildings. But we got weak pulpits. There's something wrong. The congregation don't feel to one another like they used to. There's something missing. The world is looking to that, Christians. What we need today is a baptism of love for one another. "This will all men know you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other."
And no man has greater love than he that will lay down his life for his friends. "Hear ye Him." And He was the only One that could do it. There was not an Angel could do it. There was nothing else could do it. And He did it. You've got no right to listen to nothing else contrary but Him--to Him. It's "Hear ye Him."

L-49 Bible said, "Ye are the salt of the earth." The salt's a saviour if it contacts. But if it's lost its strength, no matter how much it contacts...
That's where the Church is. That's what's the matter. They have lost their brotherly love. They've lost the feeling for one another. The world, the peoples are looking for something that's real.
They seen so much mockery, so much put on. People say, "Yes, I'm a Christian. I believe in Divine healing," and then act different. Say, "I'm a Christian," go out and put on them kind of clothes. Say, "I'm a Christian," and act--go out and smoke cigarettes, and shoot dice, and do all these other kind of things. Shame on you. That's a...
I--I--I'm not a... I love you. But, brother, I'd rather give you just a little correction now, than when I come to the judgment, you say, "Brother Branham, I'm so glad you done it." It's too late then. What we need is a love and respect for God and for His people. No matter what they belong to, the denomination, as long as they're brothers they're brothers. We need a love for one another. And love will contact when nothing else will do it.
